While Artemano searches the far reaches of the world to bring nature’s wonders into the home, my challenge is to constantly create recipes using exceptional organic ingredients that are clean and promote healthy eating. Just as Artemano choses its nature-inspired pieces as if they were decorating their own home, I pick ingredients that I would eat and feed to my own friends and family.
For the holiday season, I opted to turn the traditional chocolate fondue on its head. The outcome is a Clean Fondue that can be enjoyed by people with all types of dietary restrictions. With healthy fats from coconut milk and antioxidants from organic dark chocolate it is a win-win for the entire table! I suggest you savour every bite and remember to sprinkle with your favourite superfoods for added benefits. Happy healthy holidays!
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces or 1 ½ cups chopped 70% cocoa chocolate (I like Purelife dairy/gluten free chocolate)
- 1 cup coconut cream (water removed from coconut milk-best from a can)
- For a sweeter fondue add 1-2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- Fruits and Nuts of your choice! (Berries, pears, oranges, apples, bananas, dates, figs, walnuts, almonds etc…)
- Chia seeds, maple flakes, coconut flakes, hemp seeds, goji berries (for sprinkling)
Directions:
- Wash and chop fruits. Set up toppings in individual small bowls with a serving spoon.
- In a double boiler, melt chocolate over medium heat. Add your coconut cream and whisk until combined. Pour into fondue set or in a bowl.
- Serve with fruit, nut and toppings. Use chopsticks fondue forks to dip. Enjoy!
